Director James Ivory (1928-) was the oldest person ever to win an Oscar. At the age of 89, he received the 2017 Best Adapted Screenplay award for "Call Me By Your Name."
though ivory isn't also a performer they listed him even older

He was on yet another hilarious SEINFELD as well

Excellent topic & I could go on a lot about him here, but have in the past MR. RKO
as nasty as he was as Max Cady, check out online a 1983 tv movie called A KILLER IN THE FAMILY a true story
& MTCHUM had a nickname for his boss at RKO THE PHANTOM, because he rarely saw the man

TRIVIA: Only 3 SNL members have been up for Oscars Bill Murray in a film I love Lost in Translation, Aykroyd, Miss Daisy & Murphy in Dreamgirls
Bill shoulda earned a supporting nom for Rushmore (l998) He & Chevy Chase are still enemies despite the 1 scene in CADDYSHACK.
Bill once almost flattened him in the halls of the bldg. way back

Douglas was one of the all-time best guest hosts on "Saturday Night Live" when he appeared on the February 23, 1980 edition. SNL used to do "What If" segments (i.e. "What if Superman grew up in Germany instead of America?").
When Douglas hosted, they addressed the classic question "What if Spartacus had Piper Cub?" It showed Douglas as his classic gladiator character in a small airplane dropping bombs on the ancient Roman legions from above. Bill Murray played the pilot of the Piper Cub.
SNL (l975-80) Especially when Belushi was at the helm. Is easily in my own opinion one of the 5 greatest shows of all-time! Now, it's staggeringly awful!
as a kid I had the first & I think only actual BLUES BROTHERS album, but think it got stolen

As people now understand, the fact that Natalie Wood signed Kirk's slab is not evidence of anything.

Harry Potter fans such as myself always shed a tear watching this end scene from The Chamber of Secrets. It's Hollywood magic (no pun intended).
These are the 3rd most popular movie series in cinema history now, only after BOND & SW

That reminds me of SINATRA again, of the half dozen roles he wanted and didn't get Fast Eddie Felson was another, though Paul was brilliant in it & deserved to win for both Eddie's l961 & 1986

Still weird without Newman around

O come on Dargo, this was a funny movie though My mom even took me to it as a kid & I've seen it a lot since Obviously homage to Bringing Up Baby of course, one of Bogdanovich's favs
OOPS, now I see you only put it on as a follow up to Ali Did you & most know Love Story was up for 10 Academy awards, including her?
She's about 80 now& let her hair turn really grey, but don't think she ever mentions McQUEEN?
A film she was strong in nobody saw 1980's Just Tell Me What You want opposite Alan King, where she whooped him to a frazzle

Charles Dingle in THE LITTLE FOXES would be most enjoyable to pitchfork
Actually, Charles Dingle in just about any film in which he appeared would be fun to pitchfork now that I stop to think about it. He usually played a slimy conniving type, ready to knife anyone in the back (not literally but figuratively). So I figure, in defence, it might be prudent to do it to his front (literally).
AGREED, SHE WAS A ONSTER AND SUPERB AT IT!

Only thing I will add at this late date is that his own fav role was '62's modern day western, darn it forget the title right now?
I used to like him too
He even moved in on her street-(canon dr.) only celebs on that rd. & had all the time planned to be interred in the empty plot nxt to her, but daughter NATASHA GREGSON WAGNER saved the day & somehow bout it up-(Westwood)
LONELY ARE THE BRAVE is it
& women especially thought he was taller then 5'9, he even did a comedy skit on SNL in he mid '70's about this.

odd. the wikipedia LINK for their article refers to HEATHERS as a 1989 film by Michael Lehman, and then the article calls it a 1988 film in the intro.
Maltin's book even cites it as '89, she also had Great Balls of Fire that year

My newest video is about the life and career of Bela Lugosi. He was clearly very talented, and his career spanned more than 50 years, but after Dracula, he struggled to break out of the horror genre. Bela had turned down Frankenstein, which was a huge win for Boris Karloff. After this, Bela was hardly picky about the film roles he accepted, and some wonder if it's because he was scared to make the same mistake again. Karloff also didn't seem to struggle with typecasting the way Bela did. Do you think Bela's career trajectory would have been different if he had played The Monster too?
Landau's magnificent per in Ed Wood that more then deserved him that Oscar mentioned turning it down, befire wrestling with a rubber octopus
